Every Hospital Rooms project is artist-led; 
they are the heart and soul of what we do, and our relationships with them are central 
to our radical goal of bringing world-class art into spaces where it doesn’t usually exist. We are brave in our creativity, and we work with artists who use a variety of media that include 
not just murals but also sculpture, film, and performance.

Phoebe Boswell

Phoebe Boswell is interested in the liminal space between our collective histories and imagined futures; how we see ourselves and each other, and, consequently, how we free ourselves, or imagine freedom. Her figurative and interdisciplinary practice adopts an errant, diasporic framework, moving intuitively across media from drawing and painting to film, video, sound, and writing, to create immersive installations which affect and are affected by the environments they occupy, by time, gestalt, the layering of sound, the serendipity of loops, and the presence of the audience.

Hamish Pearch (b. 1993, London, UK) earned his BFA from Camberwell College of Arts (UAL) in 2015 and received a Postgraduate Diploma from the Royal Academy Schools, London, 2019. His practice spans sculpture, installation, drawing, and sound. Pearch is drawn to the inherent contradictions within both everyday materials and natural phenomena, shaping his work around these tensions to explore how space, form, and perception intersect. Pearch probes the fluidity between the man-made and the natural. His sculptures are sites of potential—volatile objects that teeter on the edge of transformation. Through a delicate and often subtle manipulation of materials, he creates uncanny scenarios that play with our sense of balance and stability. The works evoke a quiet instability, suggesting a world in perpetual flux, where things are never quite what they seem.
